If you could a kerbal...

[Tortoise]

Would you become one?

If were offered to be a kerbal and go inside the world of KSP and work for a space agency and be someone like Jebediah, what would your answer be?

And also, some other "outside" world player is in control of what missions you go on.

Some downsides would be:

You only get one life

Serious missions take forever ingame time, and you wouldn't be able to experience timewarping

Etcetra.

[Alymon]

Nope. Only one life and having to wait years for some of the transfers? No thank you.

[cantab]

Considering how a lot of people play this game, hell no.

[Madrias]

Definitely not. Even if it were in one of my planes, given my aircraft safety record, I'd still say no. I build safe planes with ejection systems, but stuff still goes wrong. And the last thing I would want is to end up in a definitive death trap designed as a stress test for kerbals by dropping a 3.75m tank on my head.

[SlyReaper]

Wernher Von Kerman. No question. Let the other kerbals ride the crazy death traps I design.

Edit: Also, I think you accidentally a verb in your title.

If I was the Kerbal Agency Administration-for-life and had no player controlling the agency and had total free control, hell yes. If I had to be a kerbalnaut under control of a player? Hell no.

[Fr8monkey]

Nope. Only one life and having to wait years for some of the transfers? No thank you.

Depends on how many snacks KSA packed for the trip...

[pauix]

Only if I was on Scott Manley's game. I like being alive

[AustralianFries]

Yeah.... No.

[justidutch]

Edit: Also, I think you accidentally a verb in your title.

Now that is funny!

[Hans Dorn]

I would go if I get the ability to respawn.

[KvickFlygarn87]

Maybe. I mean, sure, you have to wait years for transfers and such, but you live forever (err... don't tell my test pilots)! There's no reason not to wait!

[Darth_Kerb]

If you're not religious, try to imagine that there actually is a god that has control about everything. Consider this god could be Danny2462. Now think about the question again.

[TheSaint]

Maybe. I mean, sure, you have to wait years for transfers and such, but you live forever (err... don't tell my test pilots)! There's no reason not to wait!

You might get a bit bored. There seems to be a distinct lack of things to do on Kerbin, since the only significant civilization is the space center. Maybe they all just sit around the training center and play Human Space Program. "Doggone it! This game is totally unrealistic! Everything is too big and too far away!"

[zarakon]

Only if I was on Scott Manley's game. I like being alive

Being in Danny2462's game would be so much more interesting though!

Just think of all the neat things you could do:

- Survive being dropped on your head from orbit

- Destroy Kerbin

- Be landing gear

- Be a propulsion source

- Destroy Kerbin

- Become a crazy stretch-mutant

- Be a bowling pin

- Miraculously survive plane crashes

- Test out the latest abusement rides

- Destroy Kerbin

[The Jedi Master]

Bad idea. Either you explode, or you go insane from being stuck in space in a tiny pod for years on end...

[Dat_Spacewaffle]

I want to say yes, but, considering how I would probably end up with a new guy controlling me, nope

[FenrirWolf]

Nah, I like being able to time warp rather than spending months to years of my life screaming in a capsule in the interplanetary void

[Frank_G]

Launching in insanely large rockets, surviving a fall from orbit by landing on the helmet, stay in space forever without any needs but looking at the wonders of the universe?

I am in... who cares about exploding? You wont complain after exploding anyway...

[Rowsdower]

I might. If life is anything like our launch trailers, I, as a Kerbal, would still have the ability to play KSP. In that case, all is right with the world.

[Xavven]

Sitting on the top of 1000 tonnes of liquid fuel and oxidizer slapped together with parts from reputable companies like "Jebediah Kerman's Junkyard and Spaceship Parts Co.", and parachutes that were "found lying by the side of the road"? What's to worry about?

[timsfitz]

I've had missions last decades. Any human would go insane in those conditions.... Come to think of it, we have little reason to believe the Kerbals aren't already crazy.

[deadshot462]

If I had no choice, I'd want to be one of the orange suits just to hope that players try really hard not to kill me.

[zekes]

Only if I were Wherner Von Kerman.. otherwize hell no, I don't want to die.

[Tinyboss]

If I could a kerbal, I would Jeb.
